Setting up a wireless Internet connection using the [Custom] settings

If you would like to set up a PlayStation 3 to a Wireless Network (Wi-Fi) using the [Custom] settings, this article will take you through the necessary steps to do so.

Before you begin:

Ensure that the settings for the wireless access point (usually a router) are correct and that its power cable is properly connected. If it is battery-powered, check that the batteries have not run out.

Ensure that the Ethernet cable is not connected to the PlayStation 3 system, or the PlayStation 3 system will automatically attempt to connect to the Internet via a wired connection.
